Responsible Gaming at i89bat
Gambling should always be entertaining, not harmful. i89bat provides a suite of tools and resources to help every player in Bangladesh stay in control of their gaming activity.
Our Commitment to Player Welfare
At i89bat, we believe that gambling done right is a form of entertainment β no different from watching a cricket match or going to the cinema. The vast majority of our players in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and across Bangladesh enjoy our platform safely and without issue. But we also know that for a small number of people, gambling can become harmful if left unchecked.
That is why responsible gaming sits at the centre of everything we do. We have built practical, accessible tools directly into the i89bat platform to help you manage how much you spend, how long you play, and when to take a break. These tools are available to every registered account holder, free of charge, and can be activated at any time by contacting our support team.
Responsible gaming is not just a checkbox for us. It is a genuine commitment to the long-term wellbeing of every player who chooses to trust i89bat with their leisure time and money. We ask that you use this page to familiarise yourself with the tools available, and that you reach out without hesitation if you ever feel that gambling is no longer fun.
Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit
i89bat offers six core player-protection tools. Each one can be activated by contacting our support team at [email protected]. Changes to limits that reduce your spending take effect immediately. Requests to increase limits are subject to a 7-day cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your i89bat account.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set time period before play is paused.
Session Time Limits
Limit how long you can stay logged in during a single gaming session, from 30 minutes upwards.
Time-Out
Take a short break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is suspended for the chosen period.
Self-Exclusion
Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from i89bat for 6 months, 1 year, or indefinitely.
Activity Statements
Request a full record of your deposits, withdrawals, bets, and session history for any period.
Deposit Limits Explained
A deposit limit is the single most effective tool for keeping your gambling within a budget you are comfortable with. Once set, i89bat's system will automatically decline any deposit attempt that would push you over your chosen threshold within the relevant time window.
Daily Deposit Limit
The maximum total amount (in ৳) that can be deposited into your i89bat account within any rolling 24-hour period. For example, if you set a daily limit of ৳2,000, any deposit that would take your total above ৳2,000 in that window will be declined until the next 24-hour period begins.
Weekly Deposit Limit
A rolling 7-day cap on total deposits. Useful if you prefer to budget week by week rather than day by day. If you set a weekly limit of ৳8,000, you cannot deposit more than that across any 7-day rolling window, regardless of how many individual transactions you make.
Monthly Deposit Limit
A rolling 30-day cap on total deposits. This is the broadest budgeting tool available and works well for players who receive monthly income and want to decide at the start of each month exactly how much they are prepared to allocate to gaming entertainment.
Time-Out & Self-Exclusion
Sometimes the right move is to step away entirely. i89bat offers two distinct mechanisms for taking a break β a short-term time-out and a longer-term self-exclusion. Both are available on request and both are enforced at the account level, meaning you will not be able to log in or deposit during the chosen period.
Time-Out (Short Break)
A time-out suspends your i89bat account for a period of your choosing: 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Any pending withdrawals will still be processed normally. At the end of the time-out period, your account automatically reactivates. Time-outs are ideal if you feel you need a short pause to reset your habits without committing to a longer exclusion.
Self-Exclusion (Extended Break)
Self-exclusion is a more serious commitment designed for players who believe their gambling is becoming harmful. You may request self-exclusion for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or indefinitely. Once a self-exclusion is applied, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires, even if you change your mind. An indefinite self-exclusion requires a formal review request after a minimum of 5 years before it can be lifted.

Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise from the inside. The following warning signs may indicate that gambling is starting to have a negative impact on your life or the life of someone close to you. If several of these apply to you, we strongly encourage you to use one of i89bat's player-protection tools or seek external support.
- Spending more money on gambling than you can comfortably afford, or gambling with money meant for household expenses, rent, or bills.
- Feeling a strong urge to increase bet sizes or deposit amounts to experience the same level of excitement as before.
- Chasing losses β continuing to gamble after losing in an attempt to win back money, often resulting in further losses.
- Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling.
- Gambling interfering with work, studies, or important personal relationships in Dhaka, Chittagong, or wherever you are based.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are unable to gamble, or using gambling as a way to escape stress or low mood.
- Borrowing money β from friends, family, or financial services β specifically to fund gambling activity.
- Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back on gambling or to stop entirely.
Self-Assessment Questions
Honest self-reflection is an important first step. Read through the questions below and answer them privately and truthfully. There are no right or wrong answers β the purpose is simply to help you gain clarity about your own gambling habits.
Ask Yourself the Following:
- Have you ever gambled with money that was allocated to essential expenses such as food, rent, or utility bills?
- Have you ever felt the need to bet larger amounts than originally intended when logging into i89bat?
- After a losing session, have you returned to the platform sooner than planned in order to try to recover your losses?
- Have you ever borrowed money or sold personal belongings in order to fund a gambling session?
- Has anyone close to you β a family member, partner, or friend β ever expressed concern about your gambling habits?
- Have you ever felt guilt or shame after a gambling session, regardless of whether you won or lost?
- Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently throughout the day, even when you are not playing?
- Have you ever lost track of time while gambling and played for significantly longer than you originally intended?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, it may be worth speaking with someone about your gambling habits. Contact our support team at [email protected] or reach out to a professional counselling service. Taking action early is always the right choice.
Protecting Minors
i89bat strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years. We carry out identity verification on all accounts during the KYC process specifically to confirm that no user under the age of 21 has registered. Any account found to belong to a player under 21 will be immediately closed and all funds returned.
If you share a device or mobile phone with younger family members at home in Bangladesh, we strongly recommend taking the following precautions to prevent underage access to gambling platforms:
Use a Strong, Private Account Password
Never store your i89bat login credentials in a shared browser or note them down where younger household members could find them. Use a unique password that is not used for any other service.
Log Out After Every Session
Always log out of your i89bat account when you are finished playing, especially on shared mobile devices. Do not enable auto-save of login credentials on family or shared phones.
Use Device Parental Controls
Both Android and iOS devices offer parental control features that can restrict access to specific apps or websites. Consider enabling these features if children in your household have access to the same phone or tablet you use to access i89bat.
Getting Help
If you feel that gambling has become a problem β or if you are concerned about someone else β please do not wait. i89bat's support team is available seven days a week and can activate player-protection tools on your behalf immediately. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.
In addition to i89bat's own support services, we encourage players to seek help from professional counselling resources if they feel their gambling behaviour is causing distress. Speaking to a trusted friend, family member, or a mental health professional is always a positive step. If you are based in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Rajshahi, or anywhere else in Bangladesh, local mental health support services are available through hospitals and community health centres.
